I'm wondiering, does IE7 need to be installed first? I am currently running IE6.

I don't think IE7 matters but why did you not go IE7? I think it is a great improvement over IE6.
I did not mention it in my earlier post but in one of the planning posts it says to do a scandisk and a defrag before you start - even if you do not think it needs one. After that I backed up all data and shutdown Norton's A/V and Firewall and did the installs. To entertain my self while it was downloading and installing, I bought up the Windows Task Manager and watched the network and CPU grids go up and down. But don't forget to watch for the messages to reply to. Or it will just sit there. And once it finishes do not forget to run another Windows Update. There are add-on fixes out there.
